Yield Makes about 5 1/2 cups limeade purée.

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 ripe mangoes (about 2 1/2 pounds total)
1 1/2 cups fresh lime juice
1 1/2 cups water
1 cup superfine sugar plus additional to taste
seltzer water or club soda
Garnish: lime wedges

Steps:

  • Peel mangoes and cut flesh from pits. In a blender purée mango flesh with lime juice, water, and 1 cup sugar until smooth.
  • Force purée through a sieve into a pitcher or bowl, pressing on any solids. Chill purée, covered, until cold and stir in additional sugar. (Purée will be slightly thick. Limeade purée keeps, covered and chilled, 2 days.)
  • Fill tall glasses with ice and add enough limeade purée to fill each glass by three quarters. Top off drinks with seltzer water or club soda, stirring well, and garnish with lime wedges.

Tips:

  • Use fresh limes: Fresh lime juice provides the best flavor for limeade. If you don't have fresh limes, you can use bottled lime juice, but it won't be as good.
  • Add sugar or sweetener to taste: Limeade can be made as sweet or tart as you like. Start with a small amount of sugar or sweetener and add more to taste.
  • Use sparkling water: Sparkling water gives limeade a refreshing, bubbly口感. You can use plain or flavored sparkling water.
  • Add other fruits or flavors: You can add other fruits or flavors to limeade to create different variations. Some popular additions include berries, cucumber, mint, and ginger.
  • Serve chilled: Limeade is best served chilled. You can chill it in the refrigerator or freezer before serving.
